奴仆救主为著祂救赎服事豫备（十二）

The Preparation of the Slave-Savior for His Redemptive Service (12

1读经：马可福音14:27-42。

1Scripture Reading: Mark 14:27-42

警告门徒

WARNING THE DISCIPLES

2主耶稣在马可十四章二十七至四十二节警告门徒，说他们会绊跌，并吩咐他们要儆醒祷告。祂在二十七节对他们说，『你们都要绊跌，因为经上记著，「我要击打牧人，羊就分散了。」』主又告诉他们，祂复活以后，要在他们以先往加利利去。（28。）彼得听见主说门徒会绊跌，就对祂说，『即使众人都绊跌，我却不然。』（29。）主为著祂的死豫备门徒，就对彼得说，『我实在告诉你，就在今天夜里，鸡叫两遍以前，你要三次否认我。』这里的『否认』，原文是复合动词，表明完全的否认。三十一节、七十二节者同。但彼得却是那么粗鲁、自信、大胆，他极力的说，『我就是必须和你同死，也绝不会否认你。众人也都这样说。』（31。）

2In 14:27-42 the Lord Jesus warned His disciples of their stumbling and charged them to watch and pray. In verse 27 He said to them, “You will all be stumbled, because it is written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.” Then the Lord told them that after He was raised, He would go before them into Galilee (v. 28). When Peter heard the Lord’sword concerning the disciples being stumbled, he said to Him, “Even if all shall be stumbled, yet I will not!” (v. 29). Then, also as part of His preparation of His disciples for His death, the Lord went on to say to Peter, “Truly I tell you, that you today, in this night, before a cock crows twice, will deny Me three times.” The Greek verb rendered “deny” is a compound that signifies utterly deny, as in verses 31 and 72. But Peter, being rather rough, confident, and bold, said emphatically, “If I must die with You, I will by no means deny You! And all said similarly” (v. 31

在客西马尼祷告

PRAYING IN GETHSEMANE

3主耶稣警告门徒会绊跌以后，与他们来到一个地方，名叫客西马尼。（32。）客西马尼意即榨油机。主在这里受压榨，流出油（圣灵）来。祂带著彼得、雅各、约翰同去，『就惊恐起来，极其难过。』（33。）关于『惊恐起来』，克莱恩非尔（C.E.B.Cranfield）说，『祂面临可怕的前景，就战栗惊惧。』主对彼得、雅各和约翰说，『我的魂极其忧伤，几乎要死。你们留在这里，并要儆醒。祂就稍往前走，俯伏在地祷告，若是可能，便叫那时刻经过祂而离去。』在马可十四章三十五节奴仆救主的忧伤和祷告，与约翰十二章二十七节者同。那里祂说，祂是为这时刻来的；也就是说，祂知道父的旨意是要祂死在十字架上，以完成神永远的计画。

3After warning the disciples of their stumbling, the Lord Jesus went with them to a place named Gethsemane (v. 32). Gethsemane means the place of the oil press. The Lord was pressed there to flow out the oil, the Spirit. Taking with Him Peter, James, and John, He “began to be awestruck and distressed” (v. 33). Regarding “awestruck,” C. E. B. Cranfield says that the Lord was “in the grip of a shuddering horror in the face of the dreadful prospect before Him.” The Lord said to Peter, James, and John, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death; remain here and watch. And going forward a little, He fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from Him.” The Slave - Savior’s sorrow and His prayer in verse 35 are the same as in John 12:27. There He said that He came for this hour; that is, He knew that the Father’s will was that He should die on the cross for the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan.

4主耶稣在马可十四章三十六节祷告，说，『阿爸，父阿，在你凡事都能，求你将这杯从我撤去；然而不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思。』三一神在已过的永远，为著完成祂永远的定旨，（弗一7～9，）就在祂神圣的计画里，定规神圣三一的第二者要成为肉体，并死在十字架上，以完成永远的救赎。因此，神圣三一的第二者在创立世界以前，已过的永远里，（彼前一19～20，）就被命定为神的羔羊。（约一29。）在神眼中，祂这神的羔羊，从创立世界以来，就是从神堕落的造物存在以来，就被宰杀了。（启十三8。）自从人堕落以后，神就用羔羊、绵羊、牛犊、公牛，给神的选民作豫表，（创三21，四4，八20，二二13，出十二3～8，利一2，）指著神所豫定，要来作真羔羊的那一位。到了时期满足时，三一神就差遣神圣三一的第二者，神的儿子，成为肉体而来，取了人的身体，（来十5，）使祂可以在十字架上献给神，（九14，十12，）实行三一神的旨意，（十7，）也就是用祂在人性里的自己，作惟一的祭牲和祭物，顶替作豫表的祭牲和祭物，使神的选民得以圣别。（9～。）这里，祂在即将钉十字架前的祷告中，豫备自己喝十字架的杯，（太二六39，42，）甘愿行父这独一的旨意，好成就三一神永远的计画。主在马可十四章三十八节嘱咐三个门徒：『要儆醒祷告，免得入了试诱；你们的灵固然愿意，肉体却软弱了。』这里『愿意』的原文，也可以繙作『甘愿』。在属灵的事上，我们的灵总是愿意的、甘愿的，但肉体却软弱了。

4According to verse 36, the Lord Jesus prayed, “Abba Father, All things are possible to You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.” The Triune God determined in His divine plan in eternity past that the Second of the divine Trinity should be incarnated and die on the cross to accomplish His eternal redemption for the fulfillment of His eternal purpose (Eph. 1:7-9). Hence, the Second of the divine Trinity was ordained to be the Lamb of God (John 1:29) before the foundation of the world, that is, in eternity past (1 Pet. 1:19-20); and in the eyes of God, as the Lamb of God, He was slain from the foundation of the world, that is, from the existence of God’s fallen creatures (Rev. 13:8). From the time of man’s fall, lambs, sheep, calves, and bulls were sacrificed by God’s chosen people as types (Gen. 3:21; 4:4; 8:20; 22:13; Exo. 12:3-8; Lev. 1:2), pointing to Him who was to come as the real Lamb foreordained by God. In the fullness of time, the Triune God sent the Second of the divine Trinity, the Son of God to come in incarnation to take a human body (Heb. 10:5) that He might be offered to God on the cross (Heb. 9:14; 10:12) to do the will of God (Heb. 10:7), that is, to replace the sacrifices and offerings, which were types, with Himself in His humanity as the unique sacrifice and offering for the sanctification of God’s chosen people (Heb. 10:9-10). In His prayer here, immediately before His crucifixion, He prepared 10 Himself to take the cup of the cross (Matt. 26:39, 42), willing to do this unique will of the Father for the accomplishment of the eternal plan of the Triune God. In verse 38 the Lord Jesus charged the three disciples, “Watch and pray that you may not come into temptation; the spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh is weak.” The Greek word translated “ready” may also be rendered “willing.” In spiritual things our spirit is often ready, willing, but our flesh is weak.

暴露我们的光景

EXPOSING OUR SITUATION

5主耶稣设立祂的晚餐以后，为甚么警告门徒，说他们会绊跌，并吩咐他们要儆醒祷告？原因在于每当主在神的经纶里启示祂自己的时候，祂总是暴露我们真实的光景。你看在八章彼得的事例。彼得虽然得到耶稣是基督的启示，但是他得到这启示后，主就暴露他是撒但。不仅如此，主接著也暴露彼得的己，就是他的魂生命。

5Why is it that after the Lord Jesus instituted His supper, He warned the disciples of their stumbling and charged them to watch and pray? The reason is that whenever the Lord reveals something concerning Himself in God’s economy, He exposes our real situation. Consider the case of Peter in chapter eight. Peter received the revelation that Jesus is the Christ. After Peter received this revelation, the Lord exposed him as being Satan. Furthermore, the Lord went on to expose Peter’s self, his soul life.

6设立主的筵席启示主的死、祂的复活、主自己、和祂的扩大，就是祂奥秘的身体。紧接著这个启示以后，彼得和其他的门徒被暴露出来。他们天然的人、己、己意、心思和思想，全都被暴露了。虽然主设立祂的筵席时，他们都身在其中，但他们不了解他们是多么在自己里，是多么持守天然的观念。因此，主耶稣暴露他们。这样被暴露，就是在实行上被带进主的死。

6The institution of the Lord’stable reveals the Lord’s death, His resurrection, the Lord Himself, and His enlargement, His mystical Body. Immediately after this revelation, Peter and the other disciples were exposed. Their natural man, self, self-will, mind, and thought were all exposed. Although they experienced the Lord’s institution of His table, they did not realize how much they were in themselves and how much they were according to the natural concept. Therefore, the Lord Jesus exposed them. This exposure is the practicality of being brought into the Lord’s death.

BROUGHT INTO

被带进主的死与复活

THE LORD’S DEATH AND RESURRECTION

7当我们读马可十四至十五章时，我们看见彼得被带进主的钉死。当彼得夸口他绝对不会否认主耶稣时，他还没有被钉死。他宣称：即使众人都绊跌，他却不然。他接著说，『我就是必须和你同死，也绝不会否认你。』（十四31。）然而，他这样夸口后不久，就全然否认了主耶稣。他否认主以后，『想起耶稣对他所说的话，鸡叫两遍以前，你要三次否认我。他想起来，就哭了。』（72。）实在说来，这就是彼得的钉十字架。他哭了，因为他被钉死了。

7As we read chapters fourteen and fifteen of the Gospel of Mark, we see that Peter was brought into the Lord’s crucifixion. When Peter boasted that he would never deny the Lord Jesus, he had not yet been crucified. He claimed that even if all the others were stumbled, he would not be stumbled. He went on to say, “If I must die with You, I will by no means deny You” (14:31). However, very shortly after making this boast, he fully denied the Lord Jesus. After denying Him, “Peter remembered the word Jesus had said to him, Before a cock crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And thinking upon it, he wept” (14:72). In a very real sense, this was Peter’s crucifixion. He wept because he had been crucified

8彼得虽然否认主，但他没有放弃，反倒往前进入主的复活。你也许会觉得希奇，到底马可福音甚么地方指明彼得进入主的复活。让我们思想在主复活当天，天使向一班清早往坟墓的妇女们所说的话：『不要惊恐，你们寻找那钉十字架的拿撒勒人耶稣，祂已经复活了，不在这里，请看安放祂的地方。你们要去告诉祂的门徒和彼得说，祂在你们以先往加利利去，在那里你们要看见祂，正如祂从前所告诉你们的。』（十六6～7。）我们在这里看见，天使特别题到彼得，这指明彼得被带进基督的复活里了。我们不该将马可福音仅仅当作一本故事书来读，我们需要看见本书的启示。马可福音启示，主耶稣无意独自经过死与复活，而是定意要跟从祂的人与祂一同进入死与复活里。我们若看见这个启示，就确知祂也会带领我们这些爱祂的人，经过祂的死并进入祂的复活里。

8Although Peter denied the Lord, he did not give up. Rather, he went on to enter into the Lord’s resurrection. Perhaps you are wondering what indication there is in the Gospel of Mark that Peter entered into Christ’s resurrection. Consider the word of the angel to the women who came to the tomb early in the morning on the day of the Lord’s resurrection: “Do not be amazed; you are seeking Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He was raised! He is not here! Behold, the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, even as He told you” (16:6-7). Here we see that the angel specifically names Peter. This indicates that Peter was brought into the resurrection of Christ. We should not read the Gospel of Mark merely as a book of stories. We need to see the revelation in this book. The Gospel of Mark reveals that the Lord Jesus did not intend to go through death and resurrection alone. Instead, it was the Lord’sin tent i on to bring His followers with Him into death and resurrection. If we see this revelation, we shall be assured that, as those who love the Lord Jesus, He will bring us through His death and into His resurrection.

9当我们来到马可福音的末了，我们看见所有跟从主的人不仅进入祂的死与复活，也进入祂的升天。在祂的升天里，他们奉差遣传福音直到地极。赞美主，祂的门徒已被带进祂的死、复活和升天！

9When we come to the end of the Gospel of Mark, we see that all the Lord’s followers were brought not only into His death and resurrection but also into His ascension. In His ascension they were sent out to preach the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth. Praise the Lord that His disciples were brought into His death, resurrection, and ascension

暴露与钉十字架

EXPOSURE AND CRUCIFIXION

10主设立祂的晚餐时，彼得虽然在场，但他不明白其中的意义。晚餐后，主立即警告门徒，说他们会绊跌。这警告指明，门徒还在肉体里。即使主设立了晚餐，他们也都有分于这晚餐，但他们还在肉体里。彼得随即在天然里行事，自夸不会绊跌，也不会否认主。主耶稣警告门徒，说他们会绊跌后，就带彼得、雅各和约翰三人，同祂到客西马尼园。主吩咐他们：『你们留在这里，并要儆醒。』（十四34。）然而，祂回来的时候，见他们都睡著了，就对彼得说，『西门，你睡觉么？不能儆醒片时么？』（37。）彼得是门徒的首领，竟然领头睡觉。他除了睡觉以外，没有力量作别的。当主耶稣被捉拿时，彼得的举止行动也很天然。他拔出刀来，『将大祭司的奴仆砍了一刀，削掉了他一个耳朵。』（47。）彼得又惹麻烦，以致主耶稣被人捉拿时，还要行神迹医治大祭司仆人的耳朵。（路二二50～51。）

10Although Peter was present when the Lord instituted His supper, he did not understand the significance of it. Immediately after the supper, the Lord warned His disciples about being stumbled. This warning was an indication that the disciples were still in the flesh. Even though the Lord had instituted the supper and they had all partaken of it, they were nevertheless in the flesh. Immediately Peter behaved himself in a natural way, boasting that he would not be stumbled or deny the Lord. After warning His disciples concerning their stumbling, the Lord Jesus brought three of them—Peter, James, and John—with Him to Gethsemane. The Lord charged them to “remain here and watch” (v. 34). However, when He came to them, He found them sleeping and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Are you not strong enough to watch one hour?” (v. 37). Peter, the leader of the disciples, took the lead to sleep. He did not have the strength to do anything except sleep. Peter also behaved in a natural way when the Lord Jesus was arrested. He drew his sword and “struck the slave of the high priest, and took off his ear” (v. 47). Peter again caused trouble. At the time the Lord Jesus was being arrested, it was necessary for Him to perform a miracle to heal the ear of the high priest’s slave (Luke 22:50-51

11照马可十四章六十六至七十二节来看，彼得彻底否认了主耶稣。大祭司的一个使女对彼得说，『你也是同那拿撒勒人耶稣一起的。』（67。）但彼得却否认说，『我不知道，也不明白你说的是甚么。』（68。）不久以后，彼得又两次否认主耶稣。彼得因著被暴露，就被放在十字架上。主耶稣钉在十字架上，彼得也钉在十字架上。他被暴露，就是他钉了十字架。

11According to Mark 14:66-72 Peter utterly denied the Lord Jesus. One of the servant girls of the high priest said to Peter, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus!” (v. 67). But Peter denied this, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying” (v. 68). Shortly thereafter Peter denied the Lord Jesus twice more. Through this exposure Peter was put on the cross. The Lord Jesus was crucified, and Peter also was crucified. His exposure was his crucifixion.

基督的复制品

A REPRODUCTION OF CHRIST

12照马可福音与使徒行传来看，彼得不仅经过死的过程，也进入主的复活与升天。因此，彼得于五旬节站起来传福音时，变成另外一个人。他已经是一个钉十字架、复活又升天的人，就是钉十字架、复活、并升天之基督的复制品；他乃是这位基督的翻版。彼得既已被带进基督的死、复活与升天，他也为基督所浸透。他与基督是一，甚至基督成为他。故此，我们可以说，彼得在五旬节当天乃是基督的复制品。

12According to the Gospel of Mark and the book of Acts, Peter not only passed through the death process, but also entered into the Lord’s resurrection and ascension. Therefore, when he stood up to preach the gospel on the day of Pentecost, Peter was a different person. He was a crucified, resurrected, and ascended person, a reproduction of the crucified, resurrected, and ascended Christ. Peter was a duplicate copy of this Christ. Having been brought into the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ, Peter was also saturated with Christ. He was one with Christ, and Christ had even become him. For this reason, we may say that Peter was a duplication of Christ on the day of Pentecost

13马可福音的记载，指明彼得经过一个漫长的过程，为要成为基督的复制品。这个过程开始于第一章，那时，主耶稣呼召渔夫彼得。主呼召彼得以后，又把彼得带进一个费时三年多才完成的过程。结果，彼得在五旬节那天，是一个被带进基督的死、复活与升天的人。也许到那时彼得才能明白主筵席的意义。主设立祂的筵席，是祂豫备门徒的一部分，也是使他们完全领会祂的死与复活的一部分。我们需要看见，主定意把我们带进祂的死与复活。我们藉著祂的死与复活，就能享受祂作我们的顶替。当我们享受基督作我们的顶替时，祂就成为我们，我们也与祂成为一。结果，我们就成为祂的复制品、祂的翻版。这乃是马可福音向我们所传达的异象。

13The record in the Gospel of Mark indicates that Peter passed through a lengthy process in order to become a reproduction of Christ. This process began in chapter one, when Peter, a fisherman, was called by the Lord Jesus. After calling him, the Lord brought Peter into a process that took more than three years to complete. As a result, on the day of Pentecost Peter was a person who had been brought into the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ. Perhaps at that time Peter could understand the significance of the Lord’stable. The Lord had instituted the table as part of His preparation of the disciples, as part of the process to bring them into a full realization of His death and resurrection. We need to see that the Lord intends to bring all of us into His death and resurrection. Through His death and resurrection we may enjoy Him as our replacement. As we enjoy Christ as our replacement, He becomes us and we become one with Him. The result is that we become His reproduction, His duplication. This is the vision conveyed to us in the Gospel of Mark

神的经纶为著产生新人

GOD’SECON O MY TO PRODUCE THE NEW MAN

14我们已经看见，神的经纶乃是为著产生新人。产生新人的路在于让基督来顶替我们。传福音就是将基督这全般的顶替供应给人。然而，我们把基督这包罗万有的顶替摆出来时，冲突与逼迫总是免不了的。因著撒但篡夺了旧造，又煽动属于旧造的人起来反对属于主的事物，旧造的事物就妨碍我们，使基督无法成为我们的顶替。

14We have seen that God’secon o my is to produce the new man. The way to produce the new man is to replace us with Christ. In the preaching of the gospel Christ as the universal replacement is ministered to others. However, when we present Christ as the all-inclusive replacement, there will always be conflict and persecution. Because Satan has usurped the old creation, and because Satan instigates those of the old creation to oppose the things of the Lord, the things of the old creation hinder us in allowing Christ to become our replacement

15首先，基督顶替犹太教中一切老旧的事物。我们从九章和十三章看见，基督顶替摩西和以利亚，也顶替了圣殿。不仅如此，基督顶替了外邦世界的种种事物。祂顶替了文化、风俗、习惯、和老旧的生活方式。因为基督是这样一位顶替者，所以冲突是难免的。然而，这种冲突却能达到积极的目的。我们藉著冲突被治死，并被引进复活里。这意思是说，至终，仇敌藉著逼迫与冲突所能作的，只不过帮助复活生命的水流释放出来。阿利路亚，这水流产生了新人，而新人要成为神的国！这新人是由基督的死与复活产生的。我们藉著主的死与复活，享受祂作包罗万有、宇宙的顶替，为著产生新人。

15First, Christ replaces all the old things of Judaism. We have seen from chapters nine and thirteen that Christ replaces Moses and Elijah and also the temple. Furthermore, Christ replaces the things in the Gentile world. He replaces culture, customs, habits, and the old way of living. Because Christ is such a replacement, conflict is unavoidable. However, this conflict serves a positive purpose. Through the conflict we are put to death and ushered into resurrection. This means that, eventually, all that the enemy can do through persecution and conflict only helps release the flow of resurrection life. Hallelujah for the flow that produces the new man that will become the kingdom of God! This new man is produced by the death and resurrection of Christ. Through the Lord’s death and resurrection we enjoy Him as the all-inclusive, universal replacement for the producing of the new man
